Bug Description

libcommons-csv-java depends on default-jre, which pulls a full JRE. It is used by solr, which is installed on server environments. Fixing this library to only depend on "default-jre-headless | java2-runtime-headless" would avoid installing X libraries when installing solr.

== SRU report ==

Impact:
Due to this bug, Apache Solr (enterprise search) cannot be installed via the repo packages on Ubuntu Server without installing a huge number of desktop dependencies, including a wide array of media codecs and other cruft.

Dev branch fix:
This was fixed in Maverick by depending on headless runtimes instead.

Minimal patch:
-Depends: openjdk-6-jre | java2-runtime
+Depends: openjdk-6-jre-headless | java2-runtime-headless

TEST CASE:
On a new Lucid server, try:
apt-get install libcommons-csv-java
On an affected setup, it tries to install 70+ packages, including "libpango1.0-0"
On a fixed setup, it should install less than 20 packages.

Regression potential;
This only affects reverse dependencies of libcommons-csv-java (i.e. solr-common) and does not affect already-installed setups, so the regression potential is very limited.

Please fix for Lucid as well, in backports at the very least! Many thanks...

JasonPorter: We had the same problem, now using the Sun JDK (from the partner repository) instead.

By the way, JasonPorter, this issue being resolved does not help you for your problem, because the JDK (that you need for solr) suffers from the same problem (cf. #257857) and there's no fix underway for that problem, as it seems.

Accepted commons-csv into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Verification on a bare Lucid server install:

Without -proposed: "sudo apt-get install libcommons-csv-java" installs 72 new packages.
With -proposed: "sudo apt-get install libcommons-csv-java" installs 15 new packages.
